Welcome to episode seven of A Proper DBE Podcast brought to you by Daughters of the British Empire. 

The Daughters of the British Empire is a 501(c)3 nonprofit American society of women of British or Commonwealth birth or ancestry. We share and promote our heritage while supporting local charities and our senior facilities across the United States. 

We are a diverse group of women standing together in friendship and charity, joined by a common bond - the Commonwealth of Nations, learning and growing together. 

In this episode, host Georgia Abrams is joined by the following guests:

  • National President, Iris Sirban - Sandringham, Florida
  • National Treasurer, Diane Jones - Centre Court, Tennessee
  • Southern District Organizer, Rilla Chaka - Ascot, Texas

This episode we discuss the stories behind some of our treasured tea sets and tea pots. From Princess Louise, the SS Automedon being captured by the Germans, and the Yorkshire Tea company making an unusual road trip, these are just a few of many tales.
